- Nigerian_Customs_Service abstract "The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) is an independent agency under the supervisory oversight of the Nigerian Ministry of Finance, responsible for the collection of customs revenue and anti-smuggling efforts.The Nigeria Customs Services NSC was founded in 1891 when the former British Colonial administration appointed T. A. Wall as Director-General of Customs for the collection of Inland Revenue in Niger Coast Protectorate. This became the Department of Customs and Excise in 1922, managed by the Comptroller of Customs and Excise, Federation of Nigeria.By 1945, the Customs and Excise Preventive service had been established, divided into two arms – Maritime and Preventive. The Maritime unit was responsible for the collection of revenues from import and export duty, while the Preventive arm was tasked with the prevention of smuggling, as well as the arrest and prosecution of smugglers.The Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) No. 55 of 1958 saw the introduction of a management board to the unit and the appointment of its first chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), E. P. C. Langdon. He was succeeded by S. G. Quinton.In 1964, the first Nigerian CEO, Ayodele Diyan, was appointed, following Nigerian independence in 1960.A change in legislation in 1970 saw the introduction of new board members representing the Federal Ministries of Economic Development and Reconstruction, Trade and Industries. When the government changed hands in 1975, the board members were retired and the role of chairman and CEO was abolished and replaced by the position of director.Alhaji Shehu A. Musa was appointed as the first director with a mandate to re-organise the structure of the board. Musa’s core proposal was to unify what had been operating as two separate, parallel services. The government believed that the distinction between revenue collection and preventive services was causing administrative difficulties.In 1978, the units were merged into the unified Department of Customs and Excise. The integrated service allowed officers to work in both revenue and preventative roles, reporting to one of five directorates: Customs Tariff and Trade; Customs Enforcement Directorate; Customs Investigation Directorate; Customs Inspection Directorate; Customs Economic relations, Research; and Planning Directorate.In 1985, the unit was moved from under the governance of the Ministry of Finance to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and renamed the Customs, Immigration and Prisons Services Board. The functioning of the unit was also decentralised so that each state was run by area controllers.By 1992, the department was returned to the Ministry of Finance and recognised as a para-military organisation. A sole administrator was appointed to conduct a probe into the operations of the customs board. It was also renamed the Nigeria Customs Service (NSC), the name by which it is still recognised today.When Sani Abacha took power in 1993, he set up a probe into the NCS, which was led by Major-General Paul Tarfa. The panel charged with investigating the activities of the NCS was given a year in which to complete its findings and a sole administrator was appointed in the meantime. Brigadier-General S.O.G. Ango remained as head of the NCS until 1999, when he was replaced by Ahmed Aliyu Mustapha.At the same time as Mustapha was appointed, a new board was formed, headed by the minister of finance. Mustapha, as comptroller-general, was supported by six deputy comptrollers-generals, covering the following departments: Finance, Administration and Technical Services; Tariff and Trade; Excise and industrial incentives; Enforcement and drugs; Economic Relating Research and planning; Investigation and Inspection.The zonal structure employed under the Abacha government was also retained.This system remained in place until late 2003, when Mustapha retired. A restructuring committee was established, led by the minister of finance, which saw sweeping reforms including the retirement of 75 officers and the reformatting of the department into three departments and four zones, covering 25 area commands.In 2014, under the leadership of Inde Abdullahi Dikko as the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, the first ever Computer Based Promotion Examination (CBT) was conducted and the outcome of the exercise was one of the criteria used for the promotion of officers to various ranks in 2015.".
